Oh my goodness! This year for St. Patrick's Day, Roger made a traditional Irish dinner of corned beef, cabbage, potatoes and carrots. It was so delicious we just could not belive it!!!Between the two of us, in 10 years of marriage, we have never cooked corned beef before. The beef comes with a seasoning packet that you spread over the meat. It gave the meat such wonderful flavor. The recipe said to pile everything in the slow cooker and let it go for 8 hours. How easy is that??? By the time we all got home from work and school it was ready to eat and the house smelled incredible. I've posted the easy recipe for your enjoyment if you'd like to give it a try. Happy St. Patty's Day!
